A tall, narrow ceramic piece finished in a smoky black with burnished copper highlights and small applied nodules along its tapered flank, the surface bearing the subtle scars and speckled texture of wood or reduction firing.

Its asymmetrical profile and roughened skin create a volcanic, tactile presence, as if molten metal and clay were combined and arrested mid-flow. The work reads as a study in contrast between smooth form and raw surface: small protuberances break the plane and throw gentle shadows, while the copper flashes catch the light and animate an otherwise brooding silhouette, giving the object a restrained but powerful character.
